REMOVING THORN FROM FINGER

The sharp thorn of the cactus plant was embedded in the finger of one of my boys. He was helping me to prune the plant and he got pricked. One of his friends helped him to remove the thorn.
What his friend did was to squeeze the splinter from both sides and the bottom of the splinter to try and work it back the way it came.

As we did not have a needle or a pair of tweezers, his friend used the large thorn from the lime plant.  Now this is organic and non-toxic.  In no time, the thorn was out.
